Primary classroom programmes can be taught by CMA or school staff
CMA primary scheme of learning and guidance supports cross-arts collaborations and links to Relationship Education and other areas of the curriculum.
Children are encouraged to develop and discover their interests and talents across different performance specialisms.
Building on how children learn naturally through play and imitation, CMA resources support informal self-directed learning which can be used by non-specialists to teach drama, dance, singing, percussion, ukulele, keyboard and guitar.
Young musicians and artists are able to celebrate their achievements.
Children are introduced to orchestral instruments through play-along videos of young Croydon musicians.
If classroom programmes are taught by CMA strings or winds staff, those instruments will always be viable for group lessons in school.
The CMA Future Talent programme (for those showing enthusiasm for further development) will offer free introductory courses in CMA Library or Star Classes, including having the opportunity to learn any instrument of their choice.
